Burton talks about Steele
« on: March 21, 2010, 09:42:14 PM »
From Parade magazine--

Tim Burton "shares his favorite monsters, madmen, and villains in the movies," and had this to say about Barbara Steele:

[Her] breakout performance as Katia Vajda/Princess Asa Vajda in Mario Brava's Black Sunday (1960) is a testament to her unsual, haunting beauty. There's no mistaking why Steele went on to become the Queen of Italian Horror.

See Tim Burton gets into character for the full article.

How I wish he could find a part for her in the DS movie.  Wouldn't she have been a terrific Maleva in The Wolfman?

Considering Burton obviously is a fan of Steele, maybe there's actually hope. And there is a sort of precedent with Burton because he's used Christopher Lee, one of his favorite horror icons, in several of his films.  ;)
